WHEN AMERICA WAS ATTACKED

This is a blog I set up to chronicle my adventures in wargaming overseas in Scotland in 2011 and to continue following particular games overseas that I enjoyed with my new friends in Edinburgh. I look forward to finally updating this with more pics soon.

Miniature Building Authority hosted a Game Day

Miniature Building Authority hosted a Game Day in Fayetteville at Tree Fort Games
Schedule below - Plans were to put on A Black Powder pickup Pirate game and a Black Powder AWI British Raiding game for my new friend Tracy. But we ended up spending time in the Iraq game and Zombie game both of which ended with glorious explosions and heavy American casualties in the first and a Zombie barbeque in the second (with an almost Phyricc victory by the Contractor CNN team) the infamous 'governor' of walking dead fame must have started out his career as my peaceful contractors were attacked by a rogue military unit under the command of LT. Governor - Three contractors escaped but without the HVT. But 36 to 38 zombies were killed. Half by the sacrifice of the female CNN reporter who fired her weapon into the fuel truck rather than end up a zombie!

The Iraq game particularly was fun and had an interesting move sequence that kept all the players pretty much heavily involved While one patrol took heavy damage and had to be reinforced by Navy Seals - The second squad was more successful assisting Iraq military in suppressing insurgents in a 5 story apartment building. The death of the American commander in the American compound delayed an adequate response to an Elite unit of insurgents that popped up on the freeway mortared the compound and attacks from the insurgent supported Mosque. A predator drone and gun ship were two turns away from delivering a killing blow to these arrogant insurgents - who were so brazen as to have lured a naïve CNN reporter for an interview on top of the Mosque as snipers shot and killed American peacekeepers and UN support mission personnel

Iraq Military Training Compound - Americans next time will stay in side next time the compound as mobile reinforcements rather then be spread out on the table.

Home sweet home at the beginning American anti tank weapons were instrumental in damaging some of the insurgents assaulting the compound from across the street to the north east.
